Jesus speaks: On this eve of the Feast of St. Margaret Mary Alacoque I beg you, beg you to pray for My beloved priests, for I love them so much. Please, I implore you spread the priestly newsletter to the far ends of the earth. I beg all to join with the core chapter of Shepherds of Christ to try to circulate this newsletter. There has been much distraction to keep your focus on other things. The time is urgent. I implore you as Chief Shepherd of the Flock to circulate My instrument to help lead those in the Church and the world into My most Sacred Heart. This is their true home. This is their place of refuge. Men will be one dwelling in My Heart and My Mother's Heart. Help Me My children of the earth.
I ask that every person in the core group and others to give the last newsletter with so much on the Mass to many priests. I ask you to hand deliver it and tell them you are spending your time trying to get people to pray for priests. I wish a big sign in Florida, China and Morrow to say, "We pray for priests. Please pray with us and pray the rosary."
It will be the concerted effort of all to help with the newsletter. Tell all: there are prayer groups all over the world praying for priests, please help us. We circulate the newsletter centered in consecration to 70,000 priests in English and Spanish and we operate on donations. We are helping to bring about the wishes of Our Lady at Fatima and praying for the renewal of the Church and the world.
The more the newsletter spreads, the more your world will move toward peace and love. The priests celebrating the Mass with consecrated hearts will open up the floodgates of heaven and great grace will be outpoured on the world.
Whether in China, Indiana or China the country, you will be united in one body in a deep union through the Mass and the consecration.
Oh on this special feast I beg you to reach the priests I love with My prayers (Shepherds of Christ Prayer Manual) and the newsletter. Oh My people help Me. There will be one flock and one Shepherd. I will shepherd them through My holy priests.
Please include My Prayer for Priests with the picture of Fr. Carter and the Eucharist and My picture as appears on the Prayer for Union with Jesus.

Prayer for Priests "Lord Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the Flock, we pray that in the great love and mercy of Your Sacred Heart You attend to all the needs of Your priest-shepherds throughout the world. We ask that You draw back to Your Heart all those priests who have seriously strayed from Your path, that You rekindle the desire for holiness in the hearts of those priests who have become lukewarm, and that You continue to give Your fervent priests the desire for the highest holiness. United with Your Heart and Mary's Heart, we ask that You take this petition to Your heavenly Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit. Amen" |  |

I ask all to study the Part I of the book The Spirituality of Fatima and Medjugorje.
I ask Fr. Carter to tape this book.
I ask further that he tape the priestly newsletters.
If Fr. Carter feels he cannot tape the book, it is possible for John and Rita to tape it, but first I ask Fr. Carter to tape the last newsletter on the Mass as soon as possible.
The newsletter will reach the far ends of the earth. You must ask for support. Pass the card with the priestly newsletter around to churches and priests.
Please my children pray at 6:30 p.m. as I have requested, please circulate the prayer manuals.
I love you,
Mary
Jesus speaks: My beloved ones,
I wish you to read the priestly newsletter five minutes every day and I wish this daily message to go in the mailing.
Jesus gives another message: My dear child,
It is with great sorrows and ecstasies I have implanted on your soul My great desire for oneness. When others danced and played you found the solace that pleased you so in life with spending intimate time with Me before the Eucharist.
I have so identified your soul more to Mine that you have experienced the immense oneness with God and the great sorrow in your heart from lack of oneness, disharmony and division.
I give you this example. A man and a woman unite in holy matrimony, in great oneness they begin their marriage. It is through very many hurtful acts the marriage suffers and the wounds begin to form. After years of trying and trying to stuff feelings the wounds become deeper and deeper until finally the pain is so great for the smallest thing. The battles are greater, the sufferings insurmountable and the marriage ends in a separation or divorce.
I give you the human heart, that of a woman tender, loving, very giving to be a mother and nurse her children and raise them with tender love.
A man is the conqueror, the one who wishes to receive a solution, to win the battle, to conquer that which will give security. The man desires love, the woman desires love.
I give the heart of a woman all she needs to carry infants within her body and nurture them. She desires to help her family be one, to operate in such unity in great love. Her focus is usually bringing the relationships in the family toward oneness.
The man too wishes this, but he sees more as the protector, from the perspective of the one who sees to the needs of the family. He wants to help them to be able to live and prosper.
It is in this writing of feelings and understanding the doors of the hearts open and merge toward oneness. A heart that is closed must pray for light to be opened. A heart that is open can be closed very readily by one who does not know how to be sensitive.
Many times one wishes to solve problems with logic when it is in fact the heart is open and bleeding. What cardiologist would open up a man about to die and stick in a book of solutions in the failing heart? It is with great care and love the doctor rebuilds the wounded heart. It takes time and very careful precision. He would not rush such a tender operation.
Once a heart is open and bleeding the functions shut down. Many times in marriages after years of failure to understand and share feelings, the people in the marriage cannot endure the tremendous suffering and must live married in solitude or separate to other surroundings.
It is a shame that the people do not realize that I created them male and female with different ways of handling things so that they would merge in love.
It is only in sharing feelings, in understanding and in love that marriages will survive. The hearts that are closed over and over again by lack of understanding are the ones that over the years build walls so thick that it is almost impossible to unlock the closed heart.
I say this to you, no love relationship will survive in intimate mutual love unless it is handled by careful sharing of feelings concerning problems. One who fails to address problems, and fails to understand, contributes to years of stored-up hurts and feelings.
I watch the marriages fail and fail. Handling the heart with a book of solutions will fail every time.
I made them male and female to learn to love. From wounded relationships in childhood all have learned defective ways of loving. My beloved priests must learn to love through their Mother's Heart. I have shared with you the most intimate secrets of My Heart and My Mother has shared the sorrows and joys of her Heart with you. I wish you to express the desires of your heart in writing feeling letters to Me and one another. Ways of expressing love tenderly and with feeling are learned through practice and time. I give you a life time to learn to love God and one another. In the Eucharist I implant knowledge of Myself on the soul. I ask you to practice loving through writing letters, addressing problems in writing in love. A marriage that does not openly discuss problems in love will never merge toward oneness. There will be a wall so thick between the parties and behind that wall a heart of the deepest wounds bleeding.
I give you a life-time to learn to love. I give you the Commandment to love God and love one another. I give you the heart of a man and a woman. I give you your life which is a journey to grow in a deeper love union through growing more in My image and likeness. Problems open a door to communication and growing "out of" the imperfections that are in your hearts and souls. To avoid problems and communication keeps you locked in a box without any growth. I recommend that you write letters of your feelings, good and bad, ten minutes a day and discuss your letters. Always write in love, do not condemn. Explain, "I feel this way." Do not blame and accuse, "You did this." Say, "When you do this to me I feel this way." I wish you to open your hearts to merge in oneness, to share your feelings and to love. You should discuss your letters for at least ten minutes. This must be done daily so that feelings and problems do not mount up. This time spent in writing letters to Me and to your mate will help all your love relationships. A closed heart remains closed, unless it gives itself to another.
I wish you to grow in intimacy with Me and one another. In the Reign of the Sacred Heart men will live in an era of most intimate love.
I give you a life-time to learn to love. How many hours have you spent expressing your love from your heart to another? It is affirming to both parties to express your love. It helps you to grow in your love relationship with Me. Loving Me helps you grow in your love relationship with others. I am love. Do you want to grow and be likened to Me? Then you must practice opening your hearts.
I love you,
Jesus
